Olivia Buckland has let it all out in her gym selfies, as she points out how much ‘high waisted gym leggings and posture’ can change how you appear in a photo.

The Love Island star advised her followers that ‘knowledge is power’ as she showed her body in a range of poses, from breathing in and out, sitting down and standing up, and demonstrated how that affects how she appears.

‘Secrets of high waisted gym leggings & posture! KNOWLEDGE IS POWER LADIES,’ she wrote, before dancing around her room.

‘Is it magic? no it’s freaking angles & posture! Instagram = photos = posing = posture = angles = bod looking on point = not the whole of my life or yours am I a magician no sir’, she added.

She later pointed out: ‘There is no shame in cellulite, rolls, stretch marks, chocolate on ya mouth etc! We just naturally put our best images on here!

‘I’m happy to show you because it actually makes me feel more confident and I accept my body and the way it changes as I grow and change.

‘I want to help you guys realise there is more to life, more to our bodies and more than meets the airspace between your eyeballs and your Instagram.’

Preach, girl.

Clearly the 25-year-old received a moving response from her followers as she later wrote ‘Girls some of the messages you are sending me are making me tear up.’

Speaking to Metro.co.uk she explained: ‘We’ve always been questioned, because we were engaged for such a long time – we were engaged for longer of our relationship than not, so I think people started to assume we were engaged because we wanted to start a family.

‘But when we got married, it ramped up a little bit. People started asking, “when’s the baby coming? Have you thought about children? Are you going to get tested to check your fertility?” People think marriage means babies in the near future.

‘But for me, I’m so career driven that I find it a little bit offensive when people keep asking me about having a child. There’s a lot more I can do for society than have a kid. That’s not solely what I want to do with my life. One day, sure, there’s a chance we’ll have kids, but to be asked that constantly, it puts this expectation on you.

‘I don’t want young girls to look at me and have this idea that you have to get married and have a baby – there’s more to life for women.’

You tell ’em.
